Who is responsible for my medical bills after a construction accident?

After a construction accident in California, the person responsible for your medical bills can depend on several factors. If you are a worker injured while working on a construction site, your employer is generally responsible for providing you with workers’ compensation benefits that cover your medical expenses. If your employer offers a health insurance plan, they may also cover your medical bills in some cases. If you are a non-worker, such as a passerby injured by a construction site, you may be able to recover your medical expenses through a personal injury claim. In this case, you would likely need to show that negligence on the part of the construction company or one of its employees caused your injury and resulting medical expenses. In some cases, a construction site or contractor may also be found responsible for negligence that contributes to an injury. In this case, you may also be able to recover your medical expenses from that party. Finally, if you do not have health insurance and cannot recover your medical expenses through any of the other sources mentioned above, you may be eligible for free or low-cost health care services through your county’s public health system. No matter who is responsible for your medical bills after a construction accident, it is important to seek legal advice to understand your rights and ensure that all of your medical expenses are taken care of.
